Chapter 1145: Chapter 1144 Zhuyou Technique

"The basic principle of Curse Technique is by using Karma Magic to influence the opponent’s fate, Essence, Qi, and Spirit, causing their mind to become disoriented and disrupting the balance of Yin Yang and the Five Elements in their body."

"The concept of causality has probably been explained to you, sir, that both observable and perceptible things can establish causal connections, and the Recording Orb satisfies the ’observable’ causal connection."

Inside the Ancestral Temple, Qinghe detailed the fundamental knowledge of Curse Technique to Lu Yang and Yun Mengmeng. Ao Ling and others were familiar with Curse Technique; even when Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi were opponents, they had used each other’s hair as a medium to cast Curse Techniques.

"According to Lu Zhuguo’s idea, if you think about it carefully, Curse Technique can affect fate and Essence, Qi, and Spirit through Karma Magic, so it can be positive as well as negative."

"If it positively increases fate and Essence, Qi, and Spirit, then it could strengthen the body and eliminate illness."

Immortal Fairy wasn’t planning to attend the lesson, just lying half asleep in the Spiritual Space, but she suddenly popped out of the Spiritual Space when she heard this.

"Strengthening the body and eliminating illness?"

"Fairy, is there a problem with that?" Lu Yang noticed something off about Immortal Fairy.

Immortal Fairy tilted her head while trying hard to remember something: "Listening to Little Lotus explaining this, isn’t this just the long-lost Zhuyou Technique?"

"What is Zhuyou Technique?" Everyone looked at Immortal Fairy at once; even Qinghe and Ao Ling had never heard of this magic skill.

"Huh, you don’t know? It was mentioned by Immortal Jiuchong when he was researching history."

"Isn’t Immortal Jiuchong the first to become Immortal? To prove he was the first, he often studied ancient texts and legends to demonstrate that there were no beings surpassing the Transcendance Tribulation Stage earlier."

"He said that a long, long time ago, no one knows how far back, even before the cultivation system was perfected, there was a way of healing. It didn’t focus on specific treatments for illnesses but used an unknown magic skill to heal. It could heal not only the body but also treat the spirit."

"This healing method was called Zhuyou Technique, and only cultivators known as ’Witch Doctors’ knew this technique."

"As for who created Zhuyou Technique, what its principle was, and how it was lost, nobody knows; even Immortal Jiuchong couldn’t find any more information after searching through ancient texts."

"Don’t you think that if you just reverse Curse Technique, it becomes Zhuyou Technique?"

"It does sound similar; we’ll know if we try it." Lu Yang said, as he trusted the Fairy’s intuition.

...

Jin’an City slums.

Zhong Cai was lying in bed, feeling feverish all over. He woke up feeling terrible today, and just as he was about to get up for some water, his expression became dazed, he wobbled after standing up and, without regaining his balance, sat back down, unable to exert any strength.

"Is it because I worked too hard yesterday?" Zhong Cai sweat on his forehead, feeling uncomfortable, with a bad premonition that he might be suffering from a wind-heat disease.

Zhong Cai’s vision blurred, and he fell back into a deep sleep.

In his haze, he seemed to see a white-robed figure appear at the bedside, face obscured by soft luminescence, indiscernible.

Was it the legendary Buddha Bodhisattva?

A shimmer flickered on the white-robed figure’s Lotus Totem, and Zhong Cai lost consciousness.

"Yawn—what a comfortable sleep." Zhong Cai stretched and yawned, not knowing how long he had slept but feeling incredibly refreshed and clearer in mind than ever before.

...

"It really works." Lu Yang used his clothes to bring everyone back to the Ancestral Temple.

Not just Zhong Cai, but he had treated over ten individuals in Jin’an City, with various ailments like wind-heat, heatstroke, and summer heat stroke, curing all without any medication, all through Qinghe’s Curse Technique.

"So, can we say that Curse Technique and the lost Zhuyou Technique are essentially the same thing?"

Lu Yang frowned, feeling there was something wrong: "Fairy, do you know when Curse Technique appeared?"

Although Karma Magic is difficult to master, if Curse Technique and Zhuyou Technique are the same thing, why did Curse Technique survive while Zhuyou Technique was lost?

Logically, if Curse Technique was lost, Zhuyou Technique should not have been lost either.

Immortal Fairy shook her head: "I don’t know."

Ao Ling then said: "Many magic skills were created at the time of the cultivation system’s establishment. During that period, the pioneers of the Human race tried various methods of cultivation relentlessly, and magic skills were a byproduct of this process."

"Curse Technique most likely appeared during the time when the cultivation system was being established, but that era is too far gone, at least three hundred thousand years ago, and few ancient texts have survived; more about that era was handed down orally, and much information cannot be verified."

"I agree with Sister Ling’s view," Qinghe said. "When I was researching Curse Technique, I tried to trace its origins. Although I didn’t find its true origin, I’m sure that Curse Technique has been around for at least two hundred thousand years."

"Okay." Lu Yang could understand; after all, the cultivation system was created by the Human race, and at that time, even surviving was difficult, so how much could be transmitted on paper?

Now looking back at Ancient Times, Ancient Times is a legend, and the establishment period of the cultivation system viewed from Ancient Times is also a kind of legend.

"Speaking of Immortal Jiuchong, I have a question," Lu Yang suddenly asked.

"What is it?"

"Since the concept of Dao Fruit was created by you, Fairy, and defining the realm after Transcendance Tribulation Stage as ’Immortal’ was also your idea."

"Yes, any problem with that?"

"Then how did the concept of Immortal body come about?"

Without waiting for Immortal Fairy to respond, Lu Yang, stroking his chin, talked to himself: "Of course, initially, the Human race just referred to a special physique as Immortal body, a hyperbolic description, and then grouped it as the nine great Immortal bodies."

"Do you think there’s another possibility, that a long time ago, the transmitted realms weren’t complete, and originally there was the ’Immortal’ realm above the Transcendance Tribulation period, which gave rise to the term ’Immortal body’?"

...

"Little Ancestor, you don’t know, but our Recording Orbs are of such high quality, not only do they have large storage, they are cheap, and durable too; they last ten or twenty years without breaking. Our sales of Recording Orbs in Jin’an City have started to decline!"

"Actually, we were thinking about making a really scary Dream Mirage, with Miao’er and her group’s movements in the Recording Orb just the clips I wanted to shoot, which could be a good test of the audience’s reaction."

Mr. Shi, teary-eyed, as he was Jin’an City’s head, faced immense pressure, trying various methods.

"But you can’t use this method!" Jin Caiwei gritted her teeth, wishing she could pretend this incident never happened. "This has turned into a creepy legend!"

"I definitely won’t dare next time!" Mr. Shi promised earnestly, never expecting the issue to blow up this big.
